Client request queen
Tonia dreamed of becoming an environmentalist – living off-grid in the rainforest and conducting world-changing studies – when she was younger. However, after completing a BSc in biological sciences, specialising in zoology, at the University of Edinburgh, and an MSc in conservation biology at the University of Kent, she realised that a lifetime in research was not for her, and also that she couldn’t live without electricity and running water for more than a day.
Tonia worked in publishing, horticulture and ecological reporting for several years before she decided it was time to make the leap to scientific communications and marketing. Along the way, she developed her skillset by becoming a trained TEFL teacher, and by obtaining certifications in Microsoft Office, copywriting and SEO. She joined the writing team at kdm communications in February 2022, and has worked on almost 800 projects so far – and counting! She has also attended several trade shows to actively gain new customers, and is adept at dealing with even the trickiest of client requests.
Tonia currently lives in the Czech Republic, and enjoys exploring the countryside and local history in her (non-existent) spare time. She is a self-taught scholar of foreign languages, and she keeps her fingers green by cultivating plants on her balcony and garden, and tending to the semi-jungle inside her home.
